[freeroaminman]

This is the lamest thing i've ever seen. Nothing like watching a guy play a macbook!

[scrumbulent]

@freeroaminman true but he makes some of the fattest mixes EVER there's no denying. let's see you do better

[JMReddd]

@freeroaminman Nothing like watching a guy play a macbook while rolling on Molly*

[IntentQuestionable]

So much better with the live drummer...

[SuperHikerman]

btw hes using a akia mpd26 hooked up to a computer

[OfficialDoubleDown]

There is only person that has been able to remix a pretty lights track and do it some justice. check out - search in youtube - "got mason" - so far he has done 5 tracks. SUPPORT GOOD MUSIC! #Prettylights #gotmason

[Jrim615]

[Jrim615]

everyone is so fucked up haha

[lovelylaurielumps]

what have i been missing??? this shit is dope

[Bobisthecoolguy]

Pretty Lights is for 16 or 17 year old girls, and boys who put pills up there butt.  Just becuase this asshole has a lap top doesn't mean he's a musician. He's a douche bag, and a loser.

[enflamednebula]

@Bobisthecoolguy lol, i feel bad for you.

[tommyboy0390]

@Bobisthecoolguy oh how mistaken you are. The music that he produces actually has a very high level of musical skill. He is one of the very few electronic artists who are actually remixing the music live instead of just pushing play and mixing in and out of songs... While creating a sound entirely his own, he has managed to SELL OUT some of the biggest venues in america... So before you try to say he's a loser, just remember, he makes more in one show than you do in a year... Jealous? I think so

[dizzankss]

@Bobisthecoolguy go listen to slipnot and beet off with chicken fat. this shit is ill, if you don't like it don't listen to it.

[thegxcninja]

@Bobisthecoolguy Bob is a fag

[aaladdy]

I don't get it. Why not just add the drums to the rest of the electronic mix. He'd probably only have to push a few more buttons/turn a few knobs/move a few sliders. I'm not impressed with the drummer. I'd fire him.

[tommyboy0390]

@aaladdy he has a basic drum beat playing behind him anyway... The live drummer is just to add a little bit more of improvisation to the mix instead of having everything be so repetitive

[charliehd123]

Saw him last night. WHOLE CROWD MOSH PIT :L

[hotcheetoez]

who else popped the fullscreen mode at 1:18....jesus christ pretty lights

[dropdead024]

woww fuck that. not even dissing his music lol cuz i like him but this shit does not ever belong at a rave

[YouStoleMyBike]

@dropdead024 way to completely miss the point.

[dropdead024]

@YouStoleMyBike lmao oh of course

[etdrefiel]

Come and see the pretty lights!

[kissmyassthain]

Dude with the red hat at 1:18 is dancin on the wrong girl

[todachannel15]

@kissmyassthain maybe unfortunately for him.. that's his sister. 

[simalot1]

HA! How about the bloke in the red hat beside the babe at 1:18!

[Andrewhs022]

Should I see him live this July?

[Slugg329]

wow she was so hot

[moneyalwaysknowsbest]

i dont know if she had too small of tits, or i just had a huge boner

[kcarms55]

what is this song called goddammit?

[godhelpusall1]

@kcarms55 "Let 'em know it's time to go"

[TheNickmercier]

@kcarms55 its called let em know its time to go

[TheAquarianExpo]

dvs is the man. one of the best there is. period.

[durgules]

I wana eat that guys penis covered in shit

[rextar23]

I want to see them live so badly

[viddywellbrothers]

frankenstein is on dope at 0:07

[killingmoon3]

this guy seriously doesn't get enough criticism. so generic it hurts.

[rustyflippshakelford]

@killingmoon3 psh...you try making some and incorporating good electronic beatz with classic funk and soul and see how successful you become because of it

[huskerfan450]

that was me in the green and I dont even remember anything at this show past the first 2 songs

[AmblingAmp520]

@huskerfan450 Hahaha, that's the way it's done!

[libriani826]

SOOOOOO who saw this guy at The Orbit Room in Grand Rapids?

his performance was dirtier than incest

[theoriginaldent]

@libriani826 i did, and agreed

[corywythe]

the guy in the green at 0:07 is trippin so hard

[libriani826]

@corywythe hahaha for sure, his face is melting

[svillllus]

dope sauce bitches

[memattmyself]

dude in the green was so tripping



[TrajektorieLogik]

@memattmyself they all were

[MrLightz999]

i love Colorado, Red Rocks, Pretty lights

[Pillsburydroboy]

How do his glasses not fall off?

[torx82]

MASSIVE rip at 0:08

[scmrdo1]

I would do anything to be there when it got dark.

[somaticvibe]

i like their style...this music is best when tripping though, otherwise it's a fairly common sound. I like what they are bringing together though...keep it up!

[Dolamike101]

@somaticvibe Fairly common?? Who the hell else sounds like Pretty Lights. He has a very unique style on his own. And who else has live percussion to go with his mixing? I understand there are other breakbeat artists, but no one sounds like Pretty Lights.

[salvadorcabezon]

its a sample of Why Did You Do It by Stretch (Band) (1975)

[chagersfreak21]

what song is this that there playing?

[lhipsher]

@chagersfreak21 'Let Em Know It's Time To Go' on Passing By Behind Your Eyes

[tsrisourclick7]

fuckin ill dude

[gratefuldeadhead9]

I dont like soundtribe. I heart pretty lights.

[alliecheeto]

@gratefuldeadhead9 YOU DON'T LIKE SOUND TRIBE??!?! you must be completely clinically insane..

[gratefuldeadhead9]

@alliecheeto haha i just bored with it after a while. I saw them in raleigh last year and dont get me wrong they are mad talented but i guess its not for me.

[cmhoward8891]

shits smooth.. they dont have shit on sound tribe though..NOT SHIT

[iSucKatTyping09]

What a beautiful festival, def. trying to making it red rocks at some point

[fiyagal1]

I will come and dance.........dopeness!

[dylanwhill23]

Lolz. Look at the cloud of smoek at 0:07

[zenlikethat]

i'm the guy on the buttons guys, no seriously

[loricho]

Anyone know what album/track this is?

[loricho]

@loricho nevermind....maybe I should pay attention to the end of the video next time lol

[thatneatkiddo]

@madchronic that might be the best comment I've ever read on youtube, props

[mrfu294]

[paistedw762]

what song is this? It's too awesome

[deathpiggys]

@paistedw762 Let em know its time to go.. I think

[gatsbysdead]

PL does so well at red rocks. The acoustics rock the house.

[njfabio1]

@gatsbysdead It's cool at Red Rocks cause the sound bounces off the walls. I was there to see Leftover Salmon. It's a great place to watch artists perform

[RWundy]

Great music, and one of the best venues I've ever experienced in my life. I've had the pleasure of attending this particular venue for a lot of shows starting in '95. If anyone gets the chance to come to Colorado and check out Red Rocks, don't pass it up. You won't regret it!

[tony74s]

awesome

[randizzlebaybee]

SoOoOO BOMB LIVE<3

[Obatrops]

Theres really no reason for him to be on-stage, I love pretty lights, but the live act is a joke. I mean, this must be so much fun as a rave/dance party, but it's not a fucking concert.

[donniecrump]

to all that say he is not playing an instrument ... if he has a piece of equipment that produces sounds and he has to get involved to make it happen then he is playing an instrument. you know all those rap songs and pop hits that people lip sync to? almost all created using computers and various synth machines. when is the last time anyone saw a rapper with an instrument? what about the pop divas. they dont play anything and dont even sing live. get a clue please.

[sk89ten]

Yeah maybe he's not playing all the instruments live but I think at the end of the day i would rather listen to this sick music than listen to you try and hate on it

[Obatrops]

What "live" element is here besides the drums? This is just the album version of the song with some added effects. What is he doing?

[Kozmito]

@Obatrops dude its a fucking dance party. you are supposed to dance your face off and look and the flashing lights. stop being an elitist prick.

[akamushy1]

@Kozmito You tell him!

[DaddyPilgrim27]

@Obatrops That's what people like. It sucks when they completely change the song.

[Obatrops]

@DaddyPilgrim27

I'm just saying he's not DOING anything, it's seriously the album track being played.  He's not even sequencing live, he's pretending to. I'm just saying it's not live music, this isent a concert.

Imagine if he had a brass section, bassist and some guys on keyboards doing this song actually live, it would be incredible.

[boycery]

@Obatrops or if her brought and used actual turntables

[agianni07]

@boycery he uses a monome, idiot

[BaronUnderbite]

Ughhh Pretty Lights is such garbage. Everyone that talks about how good their shows are have never been to one sober. You think I am joking, every single person that I know that has seen them just talks about how hard they were rolling. News Flash people: Waiting in line is fucking bomb if your on the right pills Music isnt good if u need drugs to get down to them, bottom line

[huhwut9000]

@BaronUnderbite Ummm no... I just saw them sober last night and they were filthy as fuck. Soooo, yeah.

[benpimpinparrish]

@BaronUnderbiteive seen them on three different occasions and have completely enjoyed the show and concert and have been astounded at the abilities of pretty lights to produce such a unique sound. I was sober on all 3 occasions which leads me too believe your a fucking idiot and have no taste in good music

[itripcripples]

thumbs up if you saw these guys rolling sack at electric zoo

[MrPhishnout]

@itripcripples 2nd row motha fuckaa

[Neurosis315]

@itripcripples not electric zoo but camp bisco set was DOPE!!

[jjgahris]

@itripcripples I sure did!

[wreckingkat]

awesome, the studio version of the track dubbed over some live footage... lame.

[neonracer482]

im not bashing them cuz this beat is pretty siccc, but this kind of music belongs in a club, NOT a massive!! too laidback...massives are supposed to be full of NRG. this clearly doesnt do that!

[AhSchit]

@neonracer482 I see where you are coming from completely. But at a multi-stage festival i went to when PL came on all the other stages got deserted. EVERYONE was watchin PL. So, as much as it's meant to be in a club people will still come out to see him.

His shit is quality, and he has a HUGE fan base.

[th3gr8c0rnh0l10]

@neonracer482 Bullshit, I saw PL at Nocturnal, and as soon as he dropped the beat EVERYONE started moving, including myself, and I didn't stop dancing until I was panting, dripping, and legs shaking, and even then I couldn't keep myself from moving until he was done

[frightmarefan89]

@neonracer482 It them not his....and yeah i agree they should play at clubs...massives are for retards w/ glow sticks...this is more on that hip hop/instrumental/beats type of feel...so eyah i agree w/ u then on that one..rather be kicking back smoking a J and sipping a drink rocking my body then having to worry about some idiots rolling balls next to u...glad that hasnt happen yet lol

[ejb2591]

best part of this video is when he drops the first little line , the camera goes to the crowd and in the front you can see the clear little area of acid dancers. life is great.

[haileydatzme]

oh man I was at this show...the rain started fallin :) then sound tribe came on.

Red Rocks is THE best place to see a show...hands down

[nevers0mmer]

Well this is like half assed glitch mob... Not so sure whats all the hyp with these guys

[MrPhishnout]

@nevers0mmer then why don't you go suck glitch mob's dick, i've seen both live and pretty lights was tight as fuck, the drumming flowed with the music perfectly, and glitch mob's performance was very weak to say the least. not that they suck, because i love them as well, but pretty lights live shits on glitch mob live ima

[spiritualtazer]

@TheKspin please fuck off and die, you homophobic shitbag. electronic music is not the place for hate. go back to listening to Lil Weezy with your fratboy friends.

[jigr925]

@spiritualtazer don't hate on weezy.

weezy and pretty lights are the same thing. just think long enough about it.

[DopeCoozie2]

i think im saying thos honestly too, ive never seen one person not rolling, tripping, or high at one of these shows haha, and ive been 4 times, which isnt really alot but its a good amount of times. i remember my first show some chick broke like 50 glowsticks and started shaking them around and it got up my nose and the smell was unbearable kept running back and forth from the bathroom puking lol

[jkleb420]

the clap sound...is that the drummer on an electric (v drum) snare? or is that derek playing it through his shit. What kind of kit is cory playing..and what is that thing just to his immidiate left

[ahngoesvoyage]

@jkleb420 Cory had a sample pad so it could have been him but is most likely on Dereks track. Derek uses Powerbook, ABleton Live 8, Monome 128, Akai MPD, Moog Voyager, Rhodes, Bass Guitar, tons of samples, intricate cuts and a lot of production knowledge in the studio.

[5footyankers]

what is the name of this song?

[robbaydj]

what?!



what?!
